The Hardest Part Seems to be Not Knowing How Long this Trial Will Last!

The Hardest Part Seems to be Not Knowing How Long this Trial Will Last!

by Lexie Stallings | Apr 30, 2020 | Becky Douglas

I have learned in life that everyone has to go through difficult trials. No one gets a pass to escape! It seems that during the most difficult of trials, sometimes the hardest thing to endure is not knowing—not knowing how long the trial will last; not knowing how it...

One blessing of self reliance is being able to giv One blessing of self reliance is being able to give back and bless the lives of others. The STAR Store teaches our students just that. When visiting campus, our friend, Darla Newton was shown the STAR Store by a young student. He traded his STAR points for a pencil and handed it to her. He then asked her if she would give it to another child that might not have a pencil. She gave it to a little girl at a leprosy colony in Kakinada, and says that "she was so excited to receive such a simple thing!" Swipe ➡️ to see Darla and the little girls reaction to the gift of the pencil✏️ 😊
From leprosy patient to entrepreneur, Mr. Vajjirav From leprosy patient to entrepreneur, Mr. Vajjiravelu is a role model to many! He is 75 years old with deformities in both legs and hands and ulcers in his right leg. ⁠ ⁠ Not only does he suffer from these physical ailments, but psychosocial trauma and disgrace from others make it nearly impossible for him to thrive and access opportunities.⁠ ⁠ Leprosy patients carry a huge burden of stigma imbued with notions of sin, which provokes human rights violations against those affected. People affected by leprosy worldwide have been cast out from their communities and forced to live in isolation. Those who have been subjected to this cruel punishment of society are unable to voice out the injustice caused against them.⁠ ⁠ In order to fulfill our mission to rid this negative social stigma and lift those with leprosy, Rising Star Outreach provides Revolving Micro Grants. Mr. Vajjiravelu took full advantage of this opportunity. He came up with the idea to begin rearing cows for a living, envisioning a stable life for himself. With the help of the micro grant, he was able to immediately purchase and rear cows. 🐄🐮The grant served as a springboard for him to begin a successful business!⁠ ⁠ Before Mr. Vajjiravelu was living in a small hut, but due to the growth of his business, he has since built a 1 story home for him and his family! 🏡He is financially supporting his grandchildren as well and continues to work hard!
Welcome to the STAR Store!! 🤩⁠ Throughout the Welcome to the STAR Store!! 🤩⁠ Throughout the day, students have the chance to earn up to 5 STARS for good behavior, helping others, completing assignments, being kind, etc. This teaches the children not only to behave well and be kind but also the importance of working hard in order to earn their own STARS.⭐⁠ ⁠ The STAR store is then the opportunity for the students to redeem the STARS they earned for some fun stuff! This program builds a bridge in their minds between hard work and success. This helps them see the benefits of their effort to earn the STARS and motivates them to continue earning STARS through their actions. The store is on campus and available for students to visit after their studies. Read More about the STAR store on our website! 😊
Myth: People with leprosy are untouchable! 🙅‍ Myth: People with leprosy are untouchable! 🙅‍♀️ Fact: People with leprosy are PEOPLE! You can't contract leprosy by simply touching someone who has the disease. In fact, leprosy is not easily transmitted or contagious. Show some love and lend your hand to those with leprosy 👫👫👫 #fact #LeprosyAwareness
Happy New Year!! 🎊 & THANK YOU!! Together we we Happy New Year!! 🎊 & THANK YOU!! Together we were able to not just meet, but EXCEED our Healing for the Holiday goal! 😊 So thanks to ALL of your generosity we are able to take advantage of our entire $100,000 match, and then some! Do you know what this means for those leprosy-affected persons we all love and serve? It's monumental. A record-breaking year that will enable us to help so many more people. Thank you! Each of you has, in some way, been a much-valued part of this work!⁠ ⁠ This year we look forward to adding some much needed clean water facilities to a set of colonies in the state of Odisha; improving hygiene and sanitation in others; moving along in our goal of ZERO new, debilitating cases of leprosy in any of the colonies we work in; continually improving the education of our students and getting that education to more students, and so much more.
Myth: Those with leprosy are cursed🙅‍♀️ ⁠Fact: Leprosy is a bacterial infection. It is not a curse, nor does it discriminate based on race, gender, class, age, or religion. With your help, those with leprosy can be healed and lead normal lives! Our Match this Holiday Season is still good up until Dec 31st, so double your impact by donating today!🌟 #erasethemark #endstigma
